Month: July 2003

Woops. I screwed up the NetLogo link in my previous post. Here is the post again, with the link fixed up. I wonder whether I should try editing a post, or whether I’ll just end up deleting my whole blog again… I just downloaded NetLogo – a modelling and simulation environment. With it, I hope Read more about 2003-07-29 05:22:20[…]

During the past couple of weeks my productivity has taken a slide. To combat this, I’ve asked Jaga for more regular meetings. I also find that having to take tutorials during semester actually helps my Ph.D productivity in some ways. Teaching once a week puts my brain in gear, and it acts like a kind Read more about 2003-07-29 00:18:13[…]

The antenna guy came, noted that the main problem with reception was ghosting, and said that we should just buy a digital set-top box because the ghosting would go away. Only SBS might cause some problems. He noted that eventually we have to buy a set-top box anyway, because the analogue broadcast will be switched Read more about 2003-07-28 01:40:31[…]

Had a bit of a BBQ today, attended by my housemates, my cousing Terry, Boggo and SEM’s friend, Valentine, who is staying with us for a few days. Last night I went clubbing with Nigel and Terry. We intended to go to Level 5, but there was some kind of special event on (a singer) Read more about 2003-07-27 08:21:42[…]

Finally, after about three months of non-correspondence, SU decides to e-mail me. It was nice to hear from her again. She does seem very busy, and so It’s probably a bit selfish of me to expect to get regular e-mails from her. However, after – holy crap, it’s been almost two years – almost two Read more about 2003-07-24 14:15:29[…]

Today I read a paper entitled Data-Centric Storage in Sensornets. It suggested a way in which distributed hashtables could be used on top of a geographic routing protocol (GRPS) in sensor networks to make more efficient use of bandwidth and lower energy consumption. This work is quite interesting, and relevant in terms of my own Read more about 2003-07-23 14:11:57[…]

I’ve been given the task of reviewing another three papers today. They appear to be of a higher standard than the previous paper I reviewed. But this is not a good sign from my point of view, since my paper is competing with these ones. In other developments, one of my colleagues, whom we shall Read more about 2003-07-21 08:14:35[…]

My weekend started on Thursday evening, really. I suggested that we (my housemates and I, as well as my cousing Terry) should have dinner and coffee at The Three Monkeys Tea and Coffee House in West End. It’s one of my favourite little cafe’s. It has a very distinct atmosphere, which I like very much, Read more about 2003-07-20 14:02:22[…]
